Step-by-step: how to apply from Nepal

1. Confirm the visa type and current requirements on the official portal (https://welcometoserbia.gov.rs (Serbian government foreigner portal — entry hub) · https://evisa.welcometoserbia.gov.rs (Type C + Type D eApplication) · https://eforeigner.welcometoserbia.gov.rs (Temporary Residence + Single Permit applications, lodged from inside Serbia) · https://www.mfa.gov.rs/en (Serbian MFA — visa policy)).
2. Gather and scan your documents; book your appointment at eVisa Serbia (online — no physical centre in Nepal) or start the online form.
3. Prepare proof of onward travel and accommodation — many applicants use Yatra's verifiable reservations rather than buying non-refundable bookings before approval.
4. Pay the visa fee, submit (and give biometrics if required), then track your application.
